West Broadway

Originally one of Winnipeg’s oldest neighbourhoods – its original homes were built in the 1800s – West Broadway has slowly morphed into its current persona; that being a fiercely independent hip neighbourhood lined with culinary and shopping destinations.

Nestled between downtown and Wolseley, West Broadway maintains a bit of that Wolseley hippyish vibe – there is a strong movement towards urban gardening, with many community gardens and compost sites – while also having that urban vibe due to a more diverse, ethnic and new-immigrant population who inhabit the apartment buildings that line Broadway.

Sherbrook Street has become the main hub of West Broadway, and it’s here visitors can browse for eco-friendly threads, people-watch with the locals on the numerous street-side patios, or relax at one of the city’s finest salons.
